Welcome to “A Birdwatcher’s Life”

Welcome to “A Birdwatcher’s Life.” My name is Matthew Bell, and I am a member of the Environment and Natural Resources Scholars here at The Ohio State University. I am pursuing a dual degree in Earth Sciences and Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, along with a potential minor in Molecular Genetics. My long term goal is Vertebrate Paleontology and De-Extinction, specifically focusing on the evolution from Dinosaurs to Birds. I am an avid birdwatcher, or birder for short, starting in June 2013, as an alternate final for my Advanced Placement (AP) Biology class. I credit my teacher for showing me this wonderful, flying diversity in our world.

I will update this site after each of my trips into the field, with a summary of that day, and some of the pictures that I took, the rest of which can be found on Flickr, accessible from the right side of the main page. The goal of this site is to help instill in others the love of birds, and to show just how many species can be found in one’s own backyard.

I hope you enjoy, and Happy Birding!

-Matt
